Half an hour later, Liang En, who had taken a shower and treated his wounds, stood in front of the washbasin in his room and looked at the mirror with a missing corner hanging on the opposite wall.
A young man with a medium build, black hair and black eyes, who clearly looked like an intellectual, caught his eye. However, the gauze wrapped tightly on his head like a Tianzhu man seemed to ruin the overall image.
.
"This is me now, Lawrence August." Liang En whispered to himself through the light from the small skylight on the attic roof. "But why do I appear in this world? Why do I appear in this world?"
Will become Lawrence August. The most important thing is, can I go back?"
After staring at the unfamiliar self in the mirror for a few minutes in silence, Liang En, who was wearing a long cotton shirt that he had just changed into, climbed into the bed and lay there on his back, thinking about the most important question to him now.
.
As a generation born in the 1990s, Liang En has naturally read a lot of online novels about time travel. Naturally, when he was bored, he once imagined what would happen if he really went to other worlds. But now that he has really left his hometown,
Only then did he realize that he had so many things that he couldn't let go of, and that he couldn't be as cool as the protagonists in many novels.
Parents, relatives, friends, smartphones, the convenient online world, and all kinds of familiar things made him eager to go back.
Looking at the sloping ceiling, Liang En began to recall bit by bit what he had done before this place became Lawrence August.
"The past few days were no different than usual. I had normal meals, normal sleep, and normal commuting. The only difference was that I went to a certain attraction known as the eighth wonder of the world, and then——"
Thinking of this, Liang En suddenly sat up. He suddenly cleared away the fog that was lingering in his memory and remembered that he had bought an unusual bronze mirror before.
It was at the pile of stalls at the entrance of the scenic spot. A group of people dressed as farmers had been selling the so-called treasures just dug out of the ground to tourists. Of course, if these were true, they would only need a year to dig them out.
You can easily recreate a museum on the same level as the Palace Museum with the items you use.
As a local, Liang En naturally knew the ropes here. But this time he unexpectedly spotted a palm-sized bronze mirror among these tourist souvenirs, although the stall owner repeatedly claimed that it was a piece from the Han Dynasty.
The bronze mirror was just dug out of the fields. But the mirror body, which shone with metallic luster and had no rust at all, was really unconvincing.
After some bickering, Liang En bought the thing with a price tag of 5,000 yuan for 200 yuan. But what he didn't know was that just after he left, the boss put the money into his pocket and whispered: "How can I
I don’t remember that the goods I purchased included such a new mirror. Is this a sample given by the factory?”
After returning home from the trip, he played with this bronze mirror for a long time, but the more he played with it, the more he felt something was wrong: from the perspective of a keyboard archaeologist, this bronze mirror completely conformed to the various characteristics of Han mirrors, from the texture to the
This is true down to the material. But looking at it from another perspective, it will definitely not take more than a week to make this thing.
This is what makes him feel strange the most: because if someone really has the technology to imitate a mirror so finely, in theory, they should not forget about simple distressing.
He kept studying until night, but he couldn't see any more information from this mirror. Unexpectedly, after going to bed as usual, he opened his eyes again and appeared in the sewer of another world, even changing the outer shell.
.
"Go to Mount Tai, meet gods and men, eat jade flowers, drink wine springs, ride on dragons, and ride on floating clouds." Liang En recalled the common Han Dynasty image of ascending to immortality and the words on it behind the bronze mirror, while murmuring in Chinese.
When he saw the inscription on the back of the mirror, what he didn't expect was that as the last word fell, everything around him seemed to stop.
However, before he could react to these unexpected changes, everything he saw quickly began to twist and turn. The wound on the back of his head started to hurt again, as if someone had inserted a soldering iron into his head.
With a severe headache, Liang En closed his eyes subconsciously. When darkness enveloped everything, all the discomfort disappeared, and his body suddenly became lighter.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in an open space with a radius of two to three hundred meters. Outside the open space, everything was a white void, and he couldn't see anything.
After scanning the surroundings, Liang En focused his gaze directly in front of him. There was the only thing in the open space: a shadow of a large tree that looked like a 3D projection.
The big tree looks a bit like a mushroom, with a straight trunk. All the branches and leaves are gathered at the top of the tree. The green leaves and purple trunk show a special beauty. A palm-sized bronze mirror is suspended in mid-air.
It looks like it is embedded in the trunk of a tree.
"I should have come in as a soul, and the bronze mirror suspended in front of me is the culprit that allowed me to travel through time." Liang En immediately realized this after entering this space, and then he raised his head and looked at the shadow of the big tree, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Solution: "But why did the big tree on the relief on the back of the mirror come out?"
"Hello! Myself." Just when Liang En walked to the shadow of the big tree and prepared to study the mirror carefully, a voice suddenly came from behind him. He suddenly turned his head, and he was surprised to see
A white shadow that looked exactly like his current body appeared behind him.
"Myself?" Liang En seemed to have heard a very key word.
"Yes, you are me!" After saying this, the white shadow walked to the tree and touched the bronze mirror with both hands. In an instant, the familiar pain once again occupied Liang En's brain.
But what was different from the previous pain was that this time the pain made his mind so clear. He even felt that his mind had never been so clear and his various memories had never been so clear.
His memory kept going back, from the time he was hit on the head, to the days when he went to school, and lived with his adoptive father in the church. Then, as soon as it went dark, he returned to the bed where he slept in time travel, and then he went back again, and even went back to the past.
Every word, every picture I have read.
As if pressing the rewind button, he quickly reviewed his previous life. Finally, his vision went dark and he returned to the mirror.
"I understand." Liang En said as he looked at the white shadow. The memory that the white shadow had just injected into him made him realize that he had not just traveled through time as imagined, but had traveled through the fetus.
His soul was originally brought to this world from his hometown by the mirror, and then bonded with the soul of a local fetus.
Because the fetus is extremely fragile, out of self-protection considerations, the mirror sealed all of Liang En's will and memory, leaving only the most basic instincts, which then grew together with the soul of the fetus itself.
Naturally, two souls influence each other when they have been together for decades, which is why Lawrence felt that the oriental Sinian-style bronze mirror was so eye-catching.
Due to the wear and tear caused by time travel, Liang En's true spirit has been sleeping for the past twenty years. If there are no accidents, he will probably wake up in a few years and become the grandfather that Lawrence carries with him.
But this robbery changed everything. When Lawrence's soul began to collapse after being severely injured, the body's instinct awakened the soul of Liang En, who had almost recovered, allowing him to regain his self-awareness.
"It's been 20 years, and it's so far away from home. It seems I can't go back." It's good to be able to become a human again, but the fact that he can't go back home also makes Liang En feel extremely depressed.
But he soon got rid of his depression. After all, being able to live another life after experiencing such a thing is already a gift from fate. What is there to be dissatisfied about?
